7. Window Boxes

With plenty of beautiful flowers and fruits that lend themselves well to these kind of growing conditions; from Strawberries or Chillies, to Pelargoniums and Sempervivums - you will not be limited with what you can create with limited room.

You can buy window boxes in most DIY stores or gardening centres.

Alternatively, why not get crafty and see what designs you can come up with.

8. Trick the Eye

Mirrors are an innovative way of giving the impression of a much larger garden.

You may have noticed that many contemporary gardens feature a rustic mirror, not only to add character – but to trick the eye into thinking it is bigger!

A large hanging mirror in a small garden can make all the difference. Consider where to place the mirror to create the ultimate illusion impact.

Conclusion

So, there you have it.

Don’t be disheartened when if you find the perfect house that doesn’t come with the garden space you were hoping for.

You can still make it work for you.

There are an abundance of ways to make the most of even the smallest places, and truly tailor it to make it your own needs.

The most important part is getting creative, you don’t need a big budget to make something truly special. Look around you, can you recycle old “junk” you were planning to throw away and give it a new lease of life?
